    Amazing, Danny - what a fun video! Thanks so much for including me. It's wonderful seeing all of the 12for12k-ers listed in one place - a huge help in finding (and connecting with) those I wasn't aware of yet. Well done! :)

    The music video slideshow really caps it off. It's just good old fashioned fun!

    Danny, this is great... and I love the song choice too.

    Let's add some more avatars to that list! Who else wants one?

    Thanks for a great post. I just followed all the 12for12ers I wasn't already connected to as I figure that any friend of this great cause is a friend of mine. Thanks again for including me in such illustrious company - even if I didn't make the final video cut :)

    Cheers and keep up the great work, Iggy

    Erk - how the heck did THAT happen? Especially with your name being there?

    Sorry mate - will get that sorted, and thanks for all your support! :)

    Danny, how was the response to putting your followfriday list on the blog? I tried to do this, it didn't work out too well. Please let me know:-)

    Hey there Brandon,

    It's actually been pretty well received. I've had people mentioning to me on Twitter and email that they prefer the more personal format, and comments on the posts themselves seem to bear this out.

    There have also been some really nice blog posts referencing the new format. So, for the most part, it's gone over pretty well.

    When you say yours didn't work out too well, do you think there's a particular reason for this? Is it the format - have you had any feedback why it's not preferred? Sometimes change can be harder to sell to people who are used to things a certain way - it could be that as well?

    Hi Danny,

    Good to know. I think the issue was a lot of people didn't like leaving Twitter to see the recommendations, and I've found that to be the case with a lot of things.

    But I think after reading your post here I will give it another whirl.

    One of the things you could try (and not sure if you did already) is an introductory post explaining why you're taking it away from Twitter. Explain why you see more value in personalized recommendations and information about that person as opposed to normal #followfiday lists. I found that helped me and didn't leave people thinking it wasn't worth checking out?
